Panasonic reviews

I was fortunate to be able to get out voluntarily with my dignity intact. The atmosphere that is being cultivated from the very top down is nothing short of toxic. I am only hopeful that this review can save someone else from experiencing the same day to day misery. Top performers/department are suddenly deemed worthless and disposable. It doesn't matter what "generation" you may fall into as the negative atmosphere does not discriminate nor favor anyone.

Where do I start? Hard work and dedication mean nothing to this company. The great company started by Knosuke Matsushita has long been ignored. IF he took an active leadership role in the American side of the business like he did in Japan many of he problems would not manifest themselves. Cronyism plays THE dominant role here. IF you are "liked" then you will be rewarded. Raises for the rank and file are minimal. The annual review is used as an excuse to weed out he long time employees who are being "pushed" out the door after years of dedicated service. The atmosphere is Orwellian in nature. You are always being watched, and you can not do anything of a personal nature. Speak in hushed tones and never say anything outside of your job. The environment is sick at best. Use this experience as a stepping stone to other employment elsewhere.
